Plug in your sugardash and power it on. Select your preferred language, then follow the prompts to connect to WiFi.

Once connected, you’ll be brought to the Users screen.

On the Users screen, tap Add New User to create your first profile.

Enter a User Display Name — a simple label like Mom, Alex, or Riley. This name is only for display on the main screen; it is not a CGM account login.

After naming the user, you’ll see a new screen titled with that name. It includes:

• Update Name
• CGM
• Glucose Units
• Color
  

You can change these anytime in Settings, but the important step here is selecting CGM to connect your glucose source.

Dexcom

• Enter your Dexcom account username and password (not a Follow account).
• You can confirm your login works at uam1.dexcom.com.
• Note: Dexcom only uploads real-time readings to its Share server if your account has a follower. If you don’t already use Dexcom Follow, you send simply send yourself an invite.

Libre

• Sign in with a Libre LinkUp account that follows the Libre account you want displayed.
• After signing in, follow the prompts to choose which user from your LinkUp list to show on sugardash.

Nightscout

• Enter your Nightscout site URL and API Secret or API Token.
• New to Nightscout? Tap the link on this screen for setup help.
  

Once CGM info is entered, you can go straight to the main screen or return to add more users.

• Short Tap – Cycles between light mode, dark mode, and screen off.
• Long Press – Switches to the next user (when multiple users are set up).

If your Model Name (found under Settings → About Device) says sugardash 2, you can also adjust brightness:

• Swipe Down from the top of the screen to show the brightness slider.
• Tap Anywhere to close the slider.
